. C. King, with seven privates, charged a company of near 200, in the neighborhood of Banghman's Ford, and captured four of their number, killing some three, also-- then made his escape by cutting his way through them with his sabre. Cols. Bottles's and Witcher's commands have captured, since the retreat of the enemy from Col. Preston's, six miles above here, some 40 or 50 of the invaders. Among them we may mention one of the murderers of Lieut. Tipton, one deserter from the 24th Virginia regiment, and one young man that had enlisted under their banner from near this place the day before. The last report we hear of the enemy is that one brigade is at Jonesborough, while the others are on the march for Greenville. It is reported that they have left some three or four companies at and around Rogersville. The whole force which came to this place would not reach over 4,000 men. They were commanded by Gens. Shackleford and Sam. Carter, all mounted infantry, save one regiment.

Witcher's cavalry met them and gave them battle. They thought they had run against a large army, and, alter exchanging some twenty or thirty shots from their artillery, retreated in this direction, saying that the rebels had been reinforced by at least 20,000 men. In this skirmish we killed three and wounded ten of their number. No casualties on our side. Had our forces then turned upon them, as they should have done, we could have killed and captured hundreds of their fleeing forces;
